The article discusses the book "Black America," by Scott Nearing. Very little was said about the Negro on the economic front where his status has always been uncertain. If anything was said it was either a reiteration of the age-worn formula of racial emancipation via economic individualism, or a plea for industrial opportunity, or a report of one of those perennial social surveys. It was left to Nearing to write this book, the first serious portrayal within the decade of the Negro worker in modern economic society.
